First Up…

Zombeez.

From: Kenon

*Even though it's counted as a WIP Kenon has stated he doesn't plan on continuing this game.->First of all. Kenon has something pretty cool with Zombeez. I love the control method used for killing the little buggers. It can be a little buggy every now and then…but no complaints here. As things get harder, the kills become more satisfying. Especially when you barely get one right before he tries to take out a chunk of your health. The graphics are smooth and chibi, which is perfect. Sure the game isn't a deep epic adventure…but, it's not supposed to be. All in all…

This game gets a…

8/10 (Could be better, but it does what it's supposed to…and it's fun. Good game.)

Radian.

From: Jabberwock

This game is pretty addicting. Jabberwock compiles simple yet smart graphics, Interesting gameplay, and powerups you'll love…Radian seems just like those great arcade games your grandad played. And now you'll know why. It takes some getting used to…but when you finally get a feel of the controls and your own speed…you'll be taking out enemies like a pro. Which is good…because the simple graphics are great when something blows up. Everything's smartly done, and it's a good game…All in all..

This game gets a…

8.25/10 (8) (It's fun…simple…and easy to just sit down and play, which is good…but other than shooting…there's nothing else to do…it'd be nicer if you could have levels to get to…but it's okay. It's still a good game.)

And finally…Game Of The Week

Varia.

From:Kairos

This is the game of the week for a reason. It looks like it could be sold! Everything is proffesionally done. The graphics are beautiful for Gamemaker, and the gameplay is smooth. Even on my crappy computer the game ran basicly smoothly. The variaty of enemies are interesting and everything comes together perfectly. My only complaint is even a little bit of lag will mess you up extremely. Same goes for if you accidently miss an arrow key, then all the bullets you were about to dodge seem to hit you without you having a chance of getting out. That makes you lose your lives go by faster.

All in all…

This game gets a…

9.5 (9) (It's fun…and beautiful, but a bit to perfectionast for me. Had fun with it though!)

Well, this was uneventful.

Heh! Interview me!

(But srsly, interviews would be good content, and that's what this lacks)

Nice review. Someone actually likes my control scheme I was limited to, eh?

Well, I'm not completing this for the sake of PLatformed and because I'm bored after playing it about 4000 times to check it's difficulty and such.

But yeah, I do have more in plan for Zombeez, just I don't know when I'll actually finish it.

Kenon, when I saw your post, I jumped back a good three feet.

Wow, if you're going to start an "unofficial magazine" please at least put some effort into it.

@Obel: What's with the recent trend of avatar stealing?
